" Six arrests as school racial tensions boil

ESCALATING racial tensions sparked an armed brawl near Northfield school in Adelaide's north-eastern suburbs, parents and students claim.

Families attending Ross Smith Secondary School have told The Advertiser a fight broke out on Monday between "Aussies and Arabs" near the school oval. Police have confirmed six people were arrested two streets from the school.

Each was charged with weapons offences.

Parents claim the brawl, involving machetes and baseball bats, was "the worst so far" in year-long tension among white, Aboriginal and Lebanese students. "Our children keep talking about problems with the Lebanese - it's an ongoing dispute," one parent said. "It's getting worse and worse. I'm afraid somebody is really going to get hurt next time."

Education Department acting chief executive Gino DeGennaro said the incident was being taken "seriously".

"The safety of students is a priority for not only our schools, but the department," he said. "We take any incident of this nature seriously and we are supportive in the actions taken by the school to address this incident." Principal Judith O'Brien blamed the incident on "conflict between two different friendship groups".

"This incident may be linked to an earlier one at the school between two groups of students," she said. "The school is investigating and it is possible several students will be suspended as a result."

Ms O'Brien said a group of "young males" had entered the school armed with "items which could have been used as weapons". Some left when asked to, but three struggled with a student and a staff member before running away.

President of the South Australian Secondary Principals Association Bob Heath said an armed confrontation in a school was "extremely rare".

"Schools are always perceptive and alert to any type of fighting and in this state, fortunately, weapons offences are extremely rare," he said.

A police spokesman said officers were called to Collins St, Broadview - across the road from the school - at 1.45pm.

They arrested five youths and an adult male who will appear in Holden Hill Magistrates Court charged with carrying offensive weapons.

One student described the brawl in a text message to parents. "There was a massive fight at school today . . . it was Arabs against Aussies," it says.

"All the Arabs ran as soon as the cops came . . . it was pretty bad . . . about seven of them got taken by cops. I wasn't close enough to see blood."

Parents said they learned of the incident through their children. "Things like this have happened before and the school never tells us," a mother said. Ms O'Brien asked anyone with concerns to speak to her. "
